Where can I live and learn Kung fu in China?

I am interested in living in China for 3 months and learning Kung fu from Shaolin masters. I am not really interested in living like a westerner, although I am not opposed to it if that is my only choice. I am a novice, and I hope to spend my time finding peace both physically and mentally. What are my options?
Tip for best answer: M$10.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Students age between 18-60, with or without martial arts experience are all welcomed. While we encourage the teachings of Kung Fu to strengthen and revitalize ones body, we also encourage the calming and contemplating of one's mind by seeking stillness within movement.

Approx.course fee :1 month - 3 months 6,000 yuan/month (about 877 dollars/month)
You should pay all the tuition fees of your study at one time, and any kinds of installments are not supported.
School Accommodation
Double rooms. Bed, beddings, desk, chair, TV, broadband access, water fountain, independent bathroom with hot water.
We also provide Hotel accommodation, but you need to pay more on basis of your original fees.
common hotel - add 150 yuan/day (about 22 dollars/day)
three-star hotel - add 200 yuan/day (about 30 dollars/day)
four-star hotel - add 500 yuan/day (about 73 dollars/day)

Check out these guys as well, I spent a summer studying with them and learned a bunch (as well as having the time of my life!):

It's in Beijing but the training is great and many of the teachers come from Shaolin, others are national athletes who all hold golds. Their martial arts are unbelievable =)

If you are interested in the authentic Shaolin experience, and especially if you want to explore the spiritual side as well, it would be worth checking out these guys:

http://www.shaolinusa.us/

As far as I can tell, this is the US branch of the temple, and no doubt they can advise on getting in contact with the original, and whether that would be appropriate for you. If not already well prepared, it might be a good idea to learn some of the basics, and a bit of Mandarin, before going over to China for example.

I have studied at Maling Shaolin Kung Fu Academy which is located in Jiangsu Province, China ( http://shaolin-kungfu.com ). It is located right next to a famous and extremely beautiful National Park, where you can enjoy and relax. There is full room and board with 3 meals a day (Chinese food). If you dont want, you dont have to live like a westerner.

Training there is absolutely awesome. The academy is run by Shaolin Masters from the Shaolin Temple in Henan. To train under these guys is just a unique experience, as soon as I have enough money, I'll definitely go back :)

There are other western students, the academy is actually for westerners. But since it is a very young academy, there are only a few students so far, so the atmosphere is very friendly and familiar.

The site service and information I came across came from these guys http://www.StudyMartialArts.Org I approached a few schools but felt they would say anything to get my business. Here I got independent info and advice at no extra cost. Plus support and additional goodies before I left and while I studied.

Highly recommended. This would be my first stop if I wanted to Learn Kung Fu in China.

Check out the Ren School in Shandong Province. They are about 45 minutes north of Qingdao on the east coast, in a very quiet and peaceful small town called Laixi.

The price on their website includes two three hour (private) sessions each day, a private bedroom with a western bed, western toilet and hot shower, and three home cooked meals a day seven days a week. You absolutely won't find this kind of experience anywhere else in China. You literally become part of the Ren Family...

They teach their family style, which is quite practical, mixed with Sanshou and Sanda (Chinese Boxing). Also, two of the masters there are 32nd shaolin monks and they teach shaolin styles and forms as well as taijiquan to interested students. The third master is a 60 year old Shifu whose knowledge of Chinese Martial Arts is encyclopedic. He has been training since he was a boy and knows dozens of styles.

Qufu, China - http://www.shaolinskungfu.com - there you can stay in a calm environment where you can focus on your training. The masters at the school are original shaolin monks from shaolin temple and train their students in the lineage.
